Transitivism - Ambivalence to the image on account of its alienating properties. The normalisation of this maturation is dependent on a cultural mediation as exemplified by the Oedipus complex. This moment tips all of human knowledge into mediatisation through the desire of the other. The moment that the mirror stage comes to an end, by identification with the imago (and transitivism), the specular I becomes the social I (linked to socially elaborated situations). The mirror stage establishes defences of the ego (AF) as it sees hysterical repression as more archaic than neuroses. Without the proper technique for a method of symbolic reduction, our analytic interpretations of such symbolic orders could threaten (via projection) the core of the subject. This activity retains a meaning of libidinal dynamism (to do with both drives) up to the age of 18 months as well as an ontological (of being) structure of the human world (link to Bion's ideas about the patient wanting to destroy time). Unable to walk, the infant "overcomes, in a flutter of jubilant activity, the obstructions of his support" (DWW - no such thing as a baby until this point) and leans forward to hold the image in its gaze and "brings back an instantaneous aspect of the image". This event can take place from around 6 months. The mirror shows the child itself and its environment, reduplicated for exploration in the self and in play. This act rebounds in the child in a series of gestures experienced in play of the movements in the image and its reflected environment.
